Day 4: Animal Kingdom —
We woke up very early for this day! We were leaving and heading home after we visited the park so when we woke up we had to pack and take all of our things. Animal Kingdom opened up at 8am and I knew we needed to get there at least 30 minutes early because of the long wait for Flight of Passage in Pandora. We were parked and walking to the front entrance by 7:25 and when we got there, they had already opened the gates everyone was in!!! I know Disney opens their parks a little early most of the time but I did not think by 7:25 there would already be people walking around in AK. It was okay though because we went straight to FOP and got in line. OMG, you guys, Pandora World and even the queue line for FOP is unbelievable. We walked through the line quickly and only waited about 40 min (when 8am came I got on the app to see the wait time and it said 90 min) but the time we got in line was before they were telling you how long the wait was, so we had no idea! Okay— FOP was AMAZING. Our absolute favorite ride of the whole trip. I did not want any spoilers for this ride, so all these years I haven’t looked anything up other than knowing it’s a favorite of everyone’s. I had no idea what to expect and that honestly made it even better I think. I hate it’s taken me so long to finally ride it. Na’vi River was also so good, the vibrant colors and animatronics were so cool! I cannot wait to go back to AK and experience Pandora World at night. After we rode those two rides, we went to ride Expedition Everest which said a 10 minute wait but that is because that’s how long it took for us to just walk through the queue line, because we power walked through all of it and right onto the ride! We did skip the Safari this time because when we got over there it was a 65 minute wait and it was already 11am and we had a 5 hour drive back home. So we chose to get a snack and mosey around for an hour experiencing different things. I truly haven’t spent that much time in AK since I was 12 (really don’t know why) but I have been missing out since! Can’t wait to go back and spend an entire day there for our next trip.
